How To Get From Lga To Jfk By Subway
The Not-So-Subterranean Struggle: Conquering the LGA-JFK Subway Odyssey
Ah, the thrill of New York City airports! Fresh air, friendly faces, and the burning desire to get the heck out of there as fast (and cheap) as possible. But what if you find yourself stranded, luggage in tow, needing to get from LaGuardia (LGA) to JFK? Fear not, intrepid traveler, for I shall be your guide on this most hilarious, slightly nightmarish subway adventure.
Step 1: Embrace the Q70 Bus - Your Humble Steed
First things first, ditch the dreams of a sleek subway train. We're starting off grounded (literally) with the Q70 bus. Think of it as your trusty steed, a noble rectangle of metal that will whisk you (at a moderate pace) to the glorious land of... Roosevelt Avenue/Jackson Heights. Yes, the excitement is palpable.
Pro-Tip: Download a fun subway app to keep yourself entertained during the bus ride. Play a game, ponder the deepest mysteries of the universe, or simply marvel at the unique collection of luggage strapped precariously to the bus roof.
Step 2: Behold! The Majesty of the E Train (Maybe)
Now, things get interesting. You'll be venturing into the belly of the NYC subway beast. Follow the signs (hopefully) towards the E train. If you see a platform filled with sunshine and singing unicorns, you've gone way wrong. Aim for the slightly less magical platform with a healthy dose of "urban grit."
Sub-Step 2a: The Elusive E Train
There's a chance, a glorious chance, that the E train will be gracing your presence. Hop on, my friend, and enjoy a scenic (read: slightly grimy) tour of Queens. But beware, the E train is a fickle creature. If it decides to vanish like a disappearing act, don't fret! You can sometimes find the F train lurking on the same platform, ready to take you on a slightly different adventure (read: slightly longer route).
Sub-Step 2b: The Unexpected Detour (Optional)
If the train gods are feeling particularly mischievous, they might send you on a delightful detour via the 7 train. Don't panic! Just enjoy the ride and the opportunity to experience a wider variety of New York's finest subway characters.
Step 3: Ascend to AirTrain Valhalla
Finally, you'll arrive at the promised land: Sutphin Boulevard-Archer Avenue-JFK Airport station. Here, you'll make a glorious ascent (via escalator, thank goodness) to the AirTrain, a monorail that will whisk you directly to your JFK terminal.
Important Note: The AirTrain operates on a separate fare system from the subway. Be prepared to pay a small fee to reach your final destination.
Congratulations! You've Conquered the LGA-JFK Subway Odyssey
There you have it! You've survived the not-so-subterranean struggle and emerged victorious (and maybe a little sweaty) on the other side. Now you can celebrate your triumph with overpriced airport coffee and the sweet relief of knowing you'll never have to do that again... well, at least not until next time.
